Some homes have a presence-you can feel it before you even walk through the door. 1050 Elm Street, set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, is one of those homes. Thoughtfully updated yet full of original character, it's a place that feels both timeless and effortlessly livable. A front porch welcomes you inside, where high ceilings, stained glass windows, and rich millwork set the tone. The living room, with its built-ins and fireplace, is warm and inviting and the dining room, framed with picture molding, is anchored by a striking chandelier that adds a luxurious modern touch. A dedicated office with a custom built-in desk, shelving, and a beverage fridge makes workdays easier. The kitchen is designed for both function and gathering, featuring stainless steel appliances, a built-in banquette, pantry, and separate serving area with lighted cabinets and two beverage fridges. Just beyond, the family room is filled with light with a fireplace and glass doors that open to the new deck, patio, and lush backyard. A rear staircase adds to the home's easy flow, leading to the mudroom, basement, and the private upstairs spaces. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a walk-in closet, a spa-like bath, and an adjacent sitting room or office. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath, and a wall of closets ensures there's no shortage of storage on this level. Recently renovated, the lower level offers flexible space, with two playrooms, a laundry area, and even more storage. A three-car garage completes the picture. With major updates including a new roof and gutters, new HVAC, rebuilt chimneys, designer lighting, fenced yard, new deck and front porch and professional lush landscaping that provides year round color as well as privacy, this home is both well-loved and move-in ready. Located so close to Crow Island, Skokie and Washburne schools, as well as a short walk to restaurants, shopping and the Metra, you will be in the heart of Winnetka with easy access to everything. Your front porch provides front row seats to the 4th of July and Memorial Day parades. All that's left to do is move in and make yourself at home! SHOWINGS BEGIN FRIDAY, APRIL 4.
